Next month, Homestead Beer Company will debut its new beer made with Cocoa Pebbles cereal, and this is not the first Flintstones inspired beer to come from the Licking County brewery.

In November of 2017, the brewery released an experimental beer, Yabba Dabba Brew, made with Fruity Pebbles. What started as a pun slowly turned into a recipe which includes 96 boxes, an entire pallet full, of Fruity Pebbles. Since then, three small batches have been released.

According Joe Wilson, a sales representative at Homestead, the brewery wanted to play with something creative and a bit lunatic.

"Craft beer drinkers are super fun and adventurous, and they like it when breweries take chances like this," he says.

Following the success of Yabba Dabba Brew, Homestead wanted to craft something that would attract more beer drinkers with a love for the Pebbles cereal. According to Wilson, the new Bamm Bamm brew has dark roasted elements like any Porter, but it has the cocoa and marshmallow flavor that is associated with the famous cereal.

Bamm Bamm's release will take place during Columbus Beer Week from May 17-25th. Homestead is partnering with 101 Beer Kitchen in Columbus for a few brunch events which will feature both Bamm Bamm and Yabba Dabba Brew. For information on the events, visit https://www.columbusbeerweek.com/events.
